#37 - Punches and Dies

Hey friends,

Thought of trying my hand on some punches that I had. I have always loved the look the punch craft gives to any project.
A little work on simple punch outs beings so much life to the work. Well, with that hope I worked on this simple little card.

I have used the scalloped circle punch to make the flowers. The leaves are die-cuts from the Stampin Up dies. The purple die cut-out which forms the centre of the card is from the Marriane Designs Creatables dies. And finally, the base - the black cardstock is shaped with the Spellbinders Romantic Rectangles die set. Added the rhinestones to add some bling to the card. The sentiment is gold embossed using the Ranger's gold embossing powder and the stamp is from Hero Arts.

I am entering this card in the The Paper Players - PP280 A Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge from Jaydee

I have worked on the Flower-Diecuts-Yellow combination. Although the Flowers-Bling-Purple combination also works.

Also, entering in the Crafty Cardmakers - #156 Punches and/or Dies challenge

Hope everyone likes this card!!!

# 11 - Congratulations

"The biggest adventure you can take is to live the life of your dreams... Congratulations "

I have punched and embossed the flowers and have used the patterned papers for the background.

# 4 - Falling leaves

"Every leaf speaks bliss to me, fluttering from that beautiful tree"

I have used a pink patterned paper. Punched out the green leaves and embossed them. Have used the brown strip on which I have attached the leaves. Stamped the sentiment to complete the card.

# 3 - Special times

Punched flowers from a red paper sheet and embossed them for an elegant finish. I have colored the border using a silver gel pen and used clear and black rhinestones.

Completed this card with a sweet special day sentiment.
